"Spidey 3" Re-shoots

Stars Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, and James Franco are getting called back for re-shoots on “Spider-Man 3.” Apparently, test audiences complained that the next installment in the franchise lacked action. Now, how is that possible for a film that appears to be so crammed with villains and storylines?

In the film, Maguire dons the Spidey suit once again only with some slight modifications after it fuses with a mysterious black substance. The substance has a life of its own and eventually finds its way to a disheartened reporter named Eddie Brock (Topher Grace), marking the genesis of Venom. If that wasn’t enough, Parker will have to take on his best friend Harry Osborne (James Franco), who is still seeking revenge, and an escaped convict, who becomes the shape-shifting Sandman (Thomas Haden Church). Oh, and I forgot about Mysterio, although I’m not quite sure yet how he will fit in. And then there will also be the love triangle between Parker, Mary Jane (Dunst), and Gwen Stacy (Bryce Dallas Howard).

The new five-hour long cut of “Spider-Man 3” will hopefully have enough action for everyone. Filming is expected to begin again in September, with director Sam Raimi spearheading the operation. Sony should have enough time to finish everything up before the movie comes out on May 4th next year.
